Collaboration

How to organize clean up of outdated issues and PRs
- We could have a rule in which if a PR/issue doesn't show activity for N months, we close it
  - Maybe automated by a bot to mention participants
- ACTION: is there an automated way to extract all open issues/PR?
Performance considerations
- Blocking vs non-blocking mode: non-blocking mode should be preferred
- Should we not copy by default? Investigate alternative ways to handle it
- Has anyone done profiling on AD plugins? investigate profiling options
- ADPython replacement based on shared memory: ADExternal
Integrating parallelHDF into NDHDF5
If anyone is interested, pvapy has streaming framework which can also be used for parallel file writes: https://github.com/epics-base/pvaPy/blob/master/documentation/streamingFramework.md In particular, here is the example of what is possible: https://github.com/epics-base/pvaPy/blob/master/documentation/streamingFramework.md#processing-chains
